Galvanic Corrosion of High Temperature Low Sag Aluminum Conductor Composite Core and Conventional Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced Overhead High Voltage Conductors PROJECT TITLE :Galvanic Corrosion of High Temperature Low Sag Aluminum Conductor Composite Core and Conventional Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced Overhead High Voltage ConductorsABSTRACT:A High-Temperature Low-Sag Aluminum Conductor Composite Core (ACCC) vacant overhead transmission line conductor utilizing a load bearing unidirectional carbon and glass fiber bolstered epoxy composite rod was evaluated for potential galvanic corrosion problems. A series of corrosion tests were performed in zero.five M NaCl aqueous solution at space temperature, and at 85 °C. The corrosion performance of the ACCC conductor was compared to a typical Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) conductor. The bi-metallic ACSR design suffers inherently from galvanic corrosion, whereas the ACCC design does not develop galvanic corrosion unless its fiberglass composite galvanic corrosion barrier is compromised. Even with a severely compromised barrier in the ACCC conductor, the measured galvanic corrosion rate of the aluminum in the ACCC conductor was abundant below the galvanic corrosion rate measured within the ACSR conductor.
